We have celebrated many “once in a lifetime” occasions over the past year, including breaking ground on our new Bernau Estate Winery and Vineyard near Dundee, releasing our first Elton Wines and experiencing a total solar eclipse.
Our new Preferred Stock Offering has been a great success with over 600 owners joining us for the Groundbreaking Celebration where they harvested the first vintage of Pinot Noir. Bernau Estate will focus on making méthode champenoise sparkling wines from biodynamically-grown grapes. We are now busy planning the winery to offer Oregon-inspired hospitality, with gardens and a wine cave for you to explore and enjoy.
Earlier this year, we welcomed the inaugural vintage of Elton Wines with a release party for Owners held in the O’Brien Garden. Dick and Betty O’Brien planted the Elton Vineyard in 1983 and enjoyed providing their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to some of Oregon’s most talented winemakers over the years, including Consulting Winemaker Isabelle Meunier, who was selected to make these wines. Upon retiring from farming and selecting us as the steward of the vineyard in 2007, the O’Brien’s created an expansive garden filled with commissioned art work that inspired the wine label design. It was an honor to see their dream, 34-years in the making, realized with these limited production wines and the incredible partnership that went into crafting them.
Nearly 1,300 guests joined us on August 21st in our Hillyer Amphitheater to witness the Great American Solar Eclipse, which passed in totality over our Estate Vineyard in the Salem Hills. Guests celebrated this monumental experience as they raised their glasses of our commemorative Solar Eclipse Pinot Noir & Chardonnay.
Next year promises to be just as exciting with the inaugural release of our Pambrun wines next spring. Please join me at an Owner Reception and Wine Release Dinner at the Marcus Whitman Hotel in Walla Walla on April 21, 2018 to celebrate this milestone in our history. We will also be planting our first 5 acres of Syrah nearby at our new Rocks District of Milton-Freewater vineyard.
Because of our Wine Enthusiast Ownership and your support, we can embark on this incredible journey and continue the growth and history of the Oregon wine industry!
I am also very proud of the accomplishments of our winery family. Our winery and vineyard team brought in the largest harvest in our history this vintage. Our Winery Director, Christine Clair was recognized with the 40 Under 40 Award by the Portland Business Journal and our Wine Club and Ownership Manager, Nicole Markel was voted by her peers Employee of the Year for her achievements in building strong relationships with our members and Owners.
We also celebrated many team weddings and new family additions with hopes they will be ready for Harvest 2038.
Please enjoy our Holiday Pairings Guide, which is inspired by the wine and food pairings we feature at our Estate Tasting Room. I hope you’ll share the enclosed recipes with your family and friends this holiday season.
Warm Regards,
Jim Bernau, Founder/Winegrower

2015 Estate Pinot NoirOur Estate Pinot Noir expresses the terroir of our three estate vineyard sites – the original planting by Founder, Jim Bernau at the winery in the Salem Hills, Tualatin Estate planted in the foothills of the Coastal Range, and Elton planted on the east facing slope of the Eola-Amity Hills. This wine exemplifies the classic “Oregon-Style” Pinot Noir. Complex aromas of black cherry, dried herbs, floral and spice create an alluring nose. Awarded 91 points by Wine Spectator.

2013 Elton ChardonnayOne of Oregon’s top ten vineyards by Wine Press Northwest, Elton Vineyard was established by Dick and Betty O’Brien. In 1983, they planted the vineyards on land inherited from Betty’s parents, Elton and Peggy Ingram, hence the name Elton Vineyard and the address Ingram Lane. Rich gold in color, the wine opens with aromas of ripe white peach, pineapple, fig and toasted almond.

2014 Quinta Reserva Port-Style Pinot NoirThe cause of many cellar disputes, late winemaker Forrest Klaffke complained that too much of this wine was being served to tour groups by Founder, Jim Bernau. Forrest eventually locked the Port barrels away and wore the key around his neck! On his passing, he gave the key to Jim and at Forrest’s Celebration of Life we all toasted with a glass of his favorite wine. This coveted dessert wine offers notes of caramel, cocoa and holiday spice.
